Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew has brought Dr. Pinsky ratings success on VH1, and free treatment for the stars, including Gary Busey and American Idol‘s Jessica Sierra, who have been willing to bring their battles with substance abuse to a national audience.

Now the doc is adding Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew, but don’t look for any famous faces. What you’ll find are some of the 6% of real Americans who suffer from sex addiction.

All this has made Pinsky something of a star himself. But he swears that he’s not in it for the attention. He told Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf that he’s just trying to help celebrities cope—and wishes he could get the ear of Lindsay Lohan. Hey, it’s not just a reality show. “You’ve got to remember we have a bunch of non-surrendered, unmotivated drug addicts who weren’t seeking treatment. But out of that group, our success rate is better than half. Gary Busey is one who I just talked to and he’s doing really well. American Idol‘s Jessica Sierra is out of prison and working. Brigitte Nielsen is doing well. There are so many lives that really were changed by the show.” See the Top 10 scandals in American Idol history

Not including porn star Mary Carey who left to do a film titled, Celebrity Pornhab with Dr. Screw. “That was insulting, ridiculous, and disrespectful. And Mary’s choices have consequences. I’m not happy about it. And I’m not communicating with her except as somebody who has rendered her medical care. Dealing with addicts, nothing ever surprises me, but it’s sad to see her get sucked back in like that. Hopefully, she’ll get back in the game.”

A warning to Lindsay Lohan. “I’m convinced that she’ll get sober one day. But I’m afraid that between now and then, she may get a nearly mortal wound of some type. I’m really convinced that something horrible is going to have to happen to her before she really gets over it and embraces sobriety. She needs to give it up. And it’s going to be a while before she does. I have this image that she’s going to lose a limb or something before she does. And it scares me.” See photos of Lindsay Lohan’s shocking weight loss

Analyzing David Hasselhoff. “He’s one of these chronic relapsers. My suspicion is — although I have no direct knowledge whatsoever — that he has no place hide. Where does he go to meetings? Who does he connect with in sobriety? That’s got to be really tough for him. My sense is he kind of wants to, but it’s never in a very sustained, humble way. Until he finds that somewhere, it’s going to be really tough for him.”

What addicts with famous faces have in common. “What’s overwhelmingly obviously is that circumstances of their life don’t create their trouble. It’s the kind of person they are — so driven to be the celebrity or the super wealthy person. They all come from highly traumatic backgrounds. We were able to prove that. We gave over 200 celebrities narcissistic personality inventories and discovered horrible issues that they were trying to solve through success. When we treat famous people, we always end up talking about their traumatic pasts.”

Next up, Sex Rehab. “This is not about celebrities. It’s probably the most powerful thing I’ve ever done. The sex addicts I’ve treated all were severely traumatized as children. And the level of commitment that these people gave to participate in treatment was really breathtaking because it is one of the most painful treatment processes there is.”

Don’t expect to be titillated. “We talk very little about sex and more about the horrible traumas that lead to the dysfunction in their relationships, the chaos, the pain and the inability to achieve any kind of stable intimacy. That’s what they all want. That’s what none of them can have.”

The secret to rehab success. “If people are willing to do what we tell them to do, they get well. It’s a very, very simple phenomenon. People that are resistant, recalcitrant and not willing to do the work– guess what, they don’t get better. And if we say something like, ‘You need to go to treatment for an extended period of time—six months, 12 months,’ and they do not, they’re not going to get better. They’re going to relapse.”
